'Homeland' season 1 finale, 10PM ET, Showtime: This taut drama has walked a fine line between character drama and terrorism thriller, but will it be able to fulfill both those competing agendas as it wraps up its first season? There's no way to know in advance, but the amazing work by cast members Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin has helped make the first season of 'Homeland' well worth watching and one of the year's breakout hits.
